Snowed in . . .

We have just survived a
snow storm of “epic proportions”, a “historic event”, and one that could be “catastrophic”.These are a few terms used by our local
weathermen and women about the Ice/Snow Storm heading our way.We live in Georgia and if we get 2” of snow,
we all panic! I do okay with snow if we
do not lose power!!That was the only
worry I had when they started predicting ½” to 1” of ice.I have lived through two terrible ice storms
before and they are anything but pleasant.Luckily, no power was lost at our home; however, I believe in and around
Atlanta, there were about 150,000 customers who did.

Some of our snow
pictures . . .

Just say the word “snow”
and I immediately start getting sewing and knitting and card making fever.I guess you could say, I never am bored or still for very long!!

I made six KnitClutches®
that I market at Main Street Yarns.And
if I do say so myself, the fabrics on these are to die for. Three of which are completely finished . . . And on the back of the clutch you will find two grommets where your yarn can easily slide through, making your project portable and I might add, stylish! I usually do not make two alike; however, the Paris fabric is so very popular that Dee ordered 6 more in that fabric. I still have two more to make in this fabric.

Two almost finished . . . Just need to add closures . . .

and one that I need to add the lining and then the closure . . .

You can see the lining that I chose for this bag! I love it!!!

I did make a couple of
knitting needle clutches.I love making
these.Simple, quick, and very
functional as well as pretty to look at.

and Opened . . .

and Opened . . .

Love shoulder bags,
too!So I took scraps and made this one
for me: Cut the flower from another piece of fabric and appliqued to the top of the bag where I used an old pair of jeans to make the flap and strap.

I know I said that I had knitting fever, too, and when I finish up the
knitting project(s) that I started, I will post pictures of these in my next
blog.
